Focusing on green in April. Write Now! Office Products is proud of its wide selection of green products. We even have a Green Catalog. Here is a great article from Smead sharing ideas on being more green.
“Making Your Office Earth-Friendly
Even though offices have moved into the electronic age, the use of paper is not slowing. That’s why it’s more important than ever to help the environment by recycling and buying products made with recycled materials.
It is a common myth that recycling is critical because it saves trees. Because of tree farming and forest management, there are more trees now than 70 years ago. The real problem is the country’s landfills, which are nearing capacity at an alarming rate. That is why Smead is taking an active role to help reduce landfill waste.
Keeping the World Sustainable
At Smead, keeping the world organized also means keeping the world sustainable. In 1989, Smead realized it could have a positive impact on the environment by diverting used paper from landfills and re-using it in the manufacture of filing products. Today, every Smead-branded paper product contains post consumer recycled material, and more than 140 products are made from 100% recycled paper.
We’re putting our green thinking into action every day through our manufacturing and purchasing initiatives. That’s why hundreds of Smead products meet or exceed progressive requirements used by corporations and government agencies when choosing earth-friendly office supplies. We also select suppliers who practice green thinking, which is why we manufacture a number of products that use Green Seal* certified and SFI Certified Sourcing** materials.
Giving 100%
Smead’s 100% recycled product line delivers the high quality you expect and includes top tab, end tab and hanging folder products as well as jackets, pockets, expanding files and wallets. Bottom line-you won’t notice a difference in our products, but the earth sure will!”
